So as a listener of aj.he talks up iodine and how himalayan salt has lots of it .do any of the members eat gourmet salt?
Is it worth it?
I just use the common sea salt we use in Portugal. :)
I find gourmet salt less salty
yea rock salt and sea salt are my favs.
This guy like plain old table salt :)

Himalayan salt is pink, I have some in a grinder,
it was the same price as sea salt in a grinder.
I notice a faint difference in taste.
I love the pink Himmy salt! I use it mostly, and failing that, sea salt.
Himalayan Pink Salt
Made in Pakistan :D
Himalayan salt is a marketing term for halite (commonly known as rock salt) from Pakistan, which began being sold by various companies in Europe, North America, and Australia in the early 21st century. It is mined in the Khewra Salt Mines, the second largest salt mine in the world, located in Khewra, Jhelum District, Punjab, Pakistan, about 300 km from the Himalayas, about 160 kilometres from Islamabad, and 260 kilometres from Lahore, and in the foothills of the Salt Range. The salt sometimes comes out in a reddish or pink color, with some crystals having an off-white to transparent color.
In 2003 the Bavarian consumer protection agency Bayerisches Landesamt für Gesundheit und Lebensmittelsicherheit analyzed 15 specimens of Himalaya salt sold in Germany and could detect at least ten different minerals, in addition to sodium chloride (98%). German public television broadcaster ZDF presented the analyzed chemical composition of Himalayan salt, stating that the specimen contained 95–96% sodium chloride, contaminated with 2–3% polyhalite and small amounts of ten other minerals.
The pink color is due to iron oxide (rust :P )

Sea salts and rock salts are basically sodium chloride that has NOT been cleaned or purified. Most rock salt and sea salt are mined as it is easier so they are from ancient oceans. If its taken from evaporated sea water today sea salt would contain mercury, cesium (fukushima) and other stuff
In this case pure refined sodium chloride (table salt) is safer :D If you have a blood pressure issue you can switch to potassium chloride also available at the super market commonly labeled NoSalt
potassium chloride is also a good supplement if your low on potassium
BUT potassium chloride can also kill depending on your condition :D
Enjoy yer salts :D

Table salt often contains additives, like aluminum compounds and other nasties. Read the ingredients list. It's eye-opening. That's the reason I avoid table salt.
@sky.salt snobs .love it.
Thankyall for your input.im currently using pre fuku sea salt i picked up when i noticed that regular morton no longer sold iodized salt.i just happened to get like four containers.
I like my salt the old fashion way, just nail it to a tree or ram a stick in it.

Why, do the fish have mercury, cesium and other stuff?
Almost all the salt sold in Portugal is made from evaporated sea water.
Yes, ArMaP, fish are testing with very high radiation levels. Many have given up seafood for that reason.
I would assume most salt marketing is BS ;)
If doing precipate swings though in regards to salt, i do concur with the Ormus Crowd in that Dead Sea Salt doe's garner more precipate.
Whether that means anything is left to interpestation as No-One has provided proper assay's of the resulting material. :D
Basically a random survey in general.no scientific workup.unless members volunteer on their own.
The mercury would climb up the food chain from crabs and other bottom dwellers.eventually the majority of it would settle to the lowest spot in the sea floor over millions of years.imho

Hey, are all the oceans connected or did you sleep through that class. Haven't you been reading Thors posts? There are 3 open air reactors pumping radiation into the sea 24/7 This will eventually will even get to fresh water fish.... Major part of the pacific seem dead NOW,, Where do fish hide from water?....d

Yes, all oceans are connected, but does that mean that an oil spill will have the same oil concentration in the whole world?

No. :)

Did you receive the same amount of radiation as the people working in Chernobyl?

Your water comes from the Atlantic :P

That "difference in taste" is from Algae or sediments :P
Unrefined sea salt contains small amounts of magnesium and calcium halides and sulphates, traces of algal products, salt-resistant bacteria and sediment particles. The calcium and magnesium salts confer a faintly bitter overtone, and they make unrefined sea salt hygroscopic (i.e., it gradually absorbs moisture from air if stored uncovered). Algal products contribute a mildly "fishy" or "sea-air" odour, the latter from organobromine compounds. Sediments, the proportion of which varies with the source, give the salt a dull grey appearance. Since taste and aroma compounds are often detectable by humans in minute concentrations, sea salt may have a more complex flavour than pure sodium chloride when sprinkled on top of food. When salt is added during cooking however, these flavours would likely be overwhelmed by those of the food ingredients.[41] The refined salt industry cites scientific studies saying that raw sea and rock salts do not contain enough iodine salts to prevent iodine deficiency diseases
I liked ajs definition of radiation.radiation is like light from a light bulb .the particle is like the bulb itself.the bulb will bask you in warmth but if you touch the bulb then you get burnt.there are trillions of these bulbs floating in the air and if you inhale one then its guaranteed death.dont eat or inhale lightbulbs/radioactive particles.after fuku.france saw increases of hot particles in their milk.so armap.enjoy your milk/lightbulbs/radioactive particles.they background radiation may not change much even though the particle count has increased around the northern hemisphere.

I noticed that many years ago. ;D
Your original post didn't make any reference to a specific ocean, that's why I asked if that applied to
all fish.
Edit: more correctly, I asked if that applied to fish generically, I didn't directly ask if it applied to all. :)
Supposedly its the bad halides that replace the iodine deficiency.to get them out one must eat good halides of which there is only iodine.lack of iodine means higher chances of gland problems such as with the thyroid.there has been a very large increase in thyroid cyst in japanese children and west coast children.

France is in the path of the high atmosphere currents that come from North America, Portugal is not. :)
Quoteso armap.enjoy your milk/lightbulbs/radioactive particles.
If things are as bad as some people say, shouldn't most people in California be dead by now?
And yes, I do enjoy my milk, it's probably the radiation that gives it that extra taste. :P

Three things about that video:
1 - it's obviously a prediction, reality may be different
2 - it doesn't show the Atlantic.
3 - they show values compared with the initial value at Fukushima, it would be more correct to show the values compared to how things were
before the incident.
And yes, it will eventually reach my water, but at what concentration? That's what matters.

Some of it is legit, but I've read about at least one case where it was marketed as Himalayan, but actually came from a relatively normal salt mine in Pakistan. It's like most things. Caveat emptor.

Radiation is a funny beastie. The human can take a lot over time and it is not accumulative. That is why radiation workers have those badges. If they get too much... they need to leave for a while
But it's like hot water... you can take hot showers without damage but if you get to close to the limit you will do damage. Once radiation starts killing cells, your in trouble. But even severe radiation burns have been treated.
The biggest danger is long term mutations and since Fukushima is still pouring it out with no end in site, we have no way of guaging the long term effect. The fact that radiation is already in the food chai as high up the ladder as the big tuna... and so soon... that is scary
So a program on the barrier reef... 2 degree temp difference in the water for a long time will kill the reef...
As for Chernobyl...
Carvalho, F.P. (1986). Radioactivity fallout in Portugal following the Chernobyl accident. Laboratorio Nacional de Engenharia e Tecnologia Industrial, Saracem, Portugal.
Almost none of the Chernobyl fallout reached Portugal compared to the rest of Europe. Within the Azore Islands, peak values of 131I in milk 1.5 Bq/l, and for 137Cs 19 Bq/l.

So if I look at all of the radiation fall out maps, I see that ArMaP and I will be one of the last ones on Peggy to go. But He will get hit before I do so there is a silver linning in that death cloud after all. lol ;) ;) ;)
Matrix and I will be the last ones standing...At that time we will re-boot the program and start again..........

So armap is your canary in the coal mine.i can die in peace then.
